idk if you saw this, but a student from a uni in the US emailed her professor that she believed the syllabus of the module he was teaching (and that she was due to take) didn't have enough authors of colour. He emailed her back that there were several authors of colour on the syllabus, defended his syllabus and said he'd take her criticisms into consideration for the next year he taught it. He was a little patronising in his reply, but not rude. 

This wasn't good enough for the student, so she posted his reply on twitter, doxxed him (revealed his full name, uni and the subject he taught) and encouraged people on Twitter to email the dean and complain about this professor's behaviour. This thread got THOUSANDS of RTs. Tons of people replied saying they emailed on her behalf. She basically tried to hold some kind of morality crusade in order to get this guy fired for basically nothing. It was like a week before the academic year was about to start - was she expecting him to change his entire syllabus for one student??

idk how people can think doing something like this is okay
I live under a rock, can you link me an article? Thats...  pretty aggressive yeah
i would but i have no idea what to search to find it. it didn't make big big news or anything and hype died out within a day (thankfully). would help if i could remember the uni name - it was a fairly well known liberal arts college
Yeah I was trying to search it and couldn't find it 

I think it's fair to suggest more diversity within a course, dont think the way she went about it was fair 

But I can't say much else cuz I haven't read the letters or anything

and like to me its more offensive the way twitter bullies. like at least nobody was pretending to be a good person while they bullied chris chan they knew damn well what they were doing. now you can bully an actress off the internet in the name social justice.

yea i talked about this with my sister professors are actually afraid to teach more complicated things in their classes because they know students will do shit like this. like philosophy professors are actually holding back on subjects because of how fragile and out for like revenge zoomers are.
see i hate shit like that, i don't know how we're gonna move past it as society. a lot of people aren't okay with it but they're scared to speak out 

i feel like some companies are slowly realizing that they don't have to follow through with everything but not enough of them

Speaking of internet back in the day, it honestly scares me that kids now grow up with social media like its so weird that like 9 year olds have instagram and tiktok and all that shit like i wonder what that does to a childs mental development. I started using the internet when i was 9 but all i did was watch funny cat videos on youtube on my dads computer and social media didnt exist yet except for like maybe myspace lol and now kids have smartphones when they r like 5 and spend hours and hours in front of the screen while i had my first cellphone when i was 10 that was a shitty flip phone that i only used to call my parents and take photos with 

social media wasnt even rly a thing until i was 14 or something and influencers didnt exist and now kids worship jake paul like being a kid today must be wild
